Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: 1. DETERMINE that this item is exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3). General Exemptions apply in situations where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the quitclaim of a DWP public utility easement is not an action subject to CEQA. 2. APPROVE the Resolution of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board) authorizing a Quitclaim Deed quitclaiming a portion of a water facility easement, located in the City, identified as Assessor’s Parcel No. 2706-007-035 to Sodnom Demberel and Batzorig Erdenechukhal, Wife and Husband, as Joint Tenants, at no cost to the DWP. 3.
